TIE EDITORS AT HOME.

IEXaTkHl2 times: more JlhQ lUU OF
the moulders Of public opinion, from all
parts Cf the great commonwealth, met at
the place wnere few years ago the
panther laid down." and broke bread
with the most hospitable, as well as the
most enterprising and liberal people IN
Texas. The meeting of. the convention
was harmonious and pleasant through
out, and much business which will
result benefcislly to both the press
and the state OF Texas, was transacted.
But while the convention was all bust
ness and didn't neglect anything Of i'm
portsnce, pleasure and enjoyment was
not for 8 moment Telega.ed TO the back
ground. Every citizen Of Fort Worth, as
well as every business enterprise there,
seemed TO vie one with the other in their
very successful attempt TO make the stay
Of the editors in their midst enjoyable
and pleasant. Fort Worth very properly
did not insinuate to her guests that they
were an aggregation Of bumsn by
setting up q tree bar, but this was
all that was not free 10 the editors
during their stay there. They were
shown over the entire city in carriages
They were taken on numerous excur-
sions, they were b2nQuoted and given 9
magnificent bail; the street Car lines, the
telephone companies, the express COM
spanies, and, in fact, all the different bust
ness enterprises of the city were literally
turned over to the "gang," with the re-
quest that they 'rake anything" that they
might see and desire. The ladies of Fort
Worth, toe, did their SHARE towards max
ing our stay there q delightful one. They
gave entertainments, and as lovely
woman always adorns whatever she
touches, this made life still more
worth the living for the visitors
The railroads, too, did their full share
towards making this meeting memorable
one. They sll extended numerous
courtesies to the press, and the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe gave them q de-
lightful excursion to the Territory, which
was one Of the most enjoyable features of
the week. On, their return from this ex-
eursion, the editors were met at the
depot of Gainesville by leading citizens
and 'drfUen over the city, after which they
were banQuetted in royal style. Last but
not least, was the acceptation Of the
genial Colonel McCsrger's invitation to go
by Dallas and spend the day in
that city The Colonel, who rep
resented the Dallas Western NeWspa-
per Union, had q special car Cor his
guests, and when they arrived at Dallas
they found committees there waiting to
take them in charge. Festivities were
then inauguarated anew, and another de-
Ilghtful day wss passed, the good people
OF Dallas rendering the editors reCep-
lion tit for the gods. The editors then
departed for their respective homes,
where they once more began the weary
tOitQf every day life. The Times is free
to Sfmit thai the manner in which Fort
Worth entertained the quill drivers could
not be improved upon by any city in the
country, and every one present
will bear US out in the ssser-
ZION. Fort Worth is not only
the Invest, Quickest, most enterprising
and progressive city in Texas, but her
hospitality and liberality is es broad and
as deep as the great ocean Itself, and
there can be no doubt SIS to the roseate
and grand future of such city. With
such citizenship as she can boast of, it is
no Wonder that Fort Worth always gets
there with that seven and symmetrical
which cballeges the admi-
ration of the whole country. She de-
serves her prosperity however, and II the
coed wishes and assistance of the Texas
press availeth aught, she will continue to
ibask in the smiles of the tickle goddess
of fortune. ALI honor to the Fort
